It's exactly 3 months to the day since I bought my mountain bike and it was stolen last night. I had it in the trunk of my car, which was parked in the driveway. Someone had picked the lock (no visible damage to the car), opened the trunk and made off with my bike. What's driving me insane is that I was sleeping no more than 10m away from this while it was happening.
Just got off the phone with a cop and he's like, "if we find a bad guy riding a bike at 1AM, we'll check the serial number against yours and get back to you if that's the case." YEAH, RIGHT!!! :haha:
You try to have an optimistic outlook on life and think that the world is essentially a good place but like this happens and then reality sets in. Oh well... that's life, ain't it? $700 bye bye!!! Sorry about another non music related thread but I just wanted to remind all of you to be mindful of your valuables. And don’t ever leave anything in your car especially when the alarm is broken. :whip: Thieves always strike when you least expect it.
This pic was taken just 2 days ago after we completed an off-road trail at Kelso lake in Milton. Easy come, easy go... :)
That's me and my Norco in the middle. |

aww Ben.
Sorry to hear that, I know how much you love to bike.
Toronto is the worlds capital of stolen bikes.
Weirdest thing ever tho. Why would they bother to pick your trunk lock and steal your bike. I think they knew you had a nice one and they were staking out the place. |

Yup, that's what i told him. I'm betting someone had spent some time checking it out and waited till last night to jack it. .. :( |

hmm according to the other thread, d!abolic is the one that took it (or so hes pretending). Either way, we should take it like he did and find him and kick the crap out of him and beat him with the bike (without ruining it of course)
It would kill 2 birds with one stone! Get your bike back, and get rid of him and the lame useless threads! |

That's a tough one to take Ben. Sorry about the bad luck. It seems bike theft is really spiking lately in the GTA. My co-worker just had his bike stolen as well....right in front of a busy theatre, locked and all.
One small not of consolation...a bit late for you but...I read in the star that the cops are launching a bike theft sweep with plain clothes officers setting "bike traps" where they stake out planted unlocked bikes and wait for the baddies to come.....hope they catch a few atleast. |
